[Plugin: Subscribe2] Redirect to non existing /sample-page/ every time

@balky79,

I think you may need to go to Subscribe2->Settings and look for where it says: “Set default Subscribe2 page as ID”. Then select your new page and submit the changes. The plugin is probably still looking for the old page that you deleted.

@mattyrob,

Hi,

Well, I did that several times + I tried to remove / re-install plugin ??

In my settings / Appearance it says that it is using page “Newsletter subscription” that I created for this purpose, but it still does not work.

Can you please check this issue.

tnx

@balky79,

Can you post the direct link to the page that handles your subscriptions here please. I cannot find it on your site.

I assume You talk about page where I had to use “S2” button to actually use your plugin ?

https://www.coolash.com/newsletter-subscription/

that’s the page, and I’m trying to get redirected to that page when I push “subscribe” button on any page as I use widget in page footer.

Tnx.

@balky79,

Ah, another thought, go to the Widget page and open up the Subscribe2 widget. In there you need to change the page settings also.

So what should I put in “post content” of widget ?

just paste link in the box, or ?

Tnx.

No. Right at the bottom you should have a section that says “Post form content to page:” with a dropdown menu next to it. Select the correct page in there or the “Use Subscribe2 default” option.

Yep ?? I’ve pasted link, clicked save and now it works like a charm ??

Tnx for suggestion, I totally forgot to take a look there after I’ve made some changes.

@balky79,

I can see the link in text below your form on the front page now. The reason it fixed was because when you updated the Widget it will have automatically updated the page as the previous setting was invalid.

You could remove that text now and it should still work.

It’s a semi-smart plugin, so as I added link (that does nothing, so I removed it), it figured out that /sample-page/ does not exist any more, and it picked correct page from plugin settings.

When you mentioned that I have “dropdown” I went to re-check.

It is dropdown, but it does not fit widget area, so “arrow” part is outside the screen, and it looked like text field to me, so I was not picking anything before.

Anyway, works as it should, all clear ??

Tnx!

@balky79,

It fits the area okay for me in Firefox. What browser are you using and what screen resolution? I do hope you aren’t on IE!!

Hi,

I’m on 1680X150 and it is the same in bot Chromium and latest FF.

Don’t hate me for asking, IE? What would that be ? ?? ?? (ROFL)

here how it looks on chrome:

and on FF:
FF

@balky79,

Hmm, try this fix. In wp-content/plugins/subscribe2/include you’ll find a file called widget.php.

Look towards the end of the file for this line:
echo "<select id=\"" . $this->get_field_id('postto') . "\" name=\"" . $this->get_field_name('postto') . "\">\r\n";

Change it to this:
echo "<select class=\"widefat\" id=\"" . $this->get_field_id('postto') . "\" name=\"" . $this->get_field_name('postto') . "\">\r\n";

Note adding the widefat class. Does that help?

Oh an ‘IE’ is a non-standards complaint web browser that’s used hugely by people who don’t know any better!!
